2.11 Ct. Cabochon Emerald from Pakistan

This item is a translucent pear shape green emerald, weighing 2.11 carats, with dimensions 11.59 x 5.48 x 5.61 mm. The gem has been fashioned as a cabochon, presenting a smooth domed crown and a well proportioned pavilion, and the measured crown height of 5.61 mm produces a pleasing three dimensional presence while preserving structural integrity at the pointed end. The pear outline has been executed with deliberate proportional control, producing a length to width ratio of approximately 2.11, which elongates the visual axis without compromising symmetry. The profile demonstrates careful apex centering, a gently rounded apex and a tapered termination at the point, and these attributes facilitate a fluid light transmission characteristic of a high quality cabochon. The cut exhibits excellent polish across the dome, with no abrasions or polish lines visible to the unaided eye, and the smooth surface maximizes the stone body color and internal depth rather than relying on faceting to create brilliance.

Color evaluation indicates a vivid green hue with strong saturation, and the stone reads as medium to medium dark in tone when viewed face up under standard daylight balanced lighting. The color distribution is uniform along the length of the pear, with subtle variations near the narrower termination that add natural character without producing distracting zoning. Translucency is consistent, allowing internal features to modulate color and internal light flow in a way that enhances perceived intensity. Clarity has been graded as included, evaluated at eye level, and the internal characteristics are typical of natural emeralds from Pakistan, contributing a distinctive jardin that can be appreciated under magnification and that provides gemological confirmation of natural origin. Enhancement is listed as standard, reflecting commonly applied industry treatments to improve apparent clarity and stabilization, and the stone presents such treatment in a manner that is stable under normal wear conditions. The combination of vivid color, translucent body, and included clarity results in a lively visual appeal that emphasizes saturated green rather than surface reflectivity.

Provenance is Pakistan, and this origin is consistent with the green hue and internal texture observed, providing collectors and designers with regional character that is often sought for natural emerald specimens. From a craftsmanship perspective, the cabochon execution demonstrates controlled material removal and careful lapidary shaping, with even curvature across the dome and a well executed girdle area that will facilitate secure mounting. Given the cabochon format and the pear profile, mounting recommendations include a full bezel or a partial bezel with protective prongs at the termination, to minimize mechanical stress on the pointed end. The stone is particularly well suited to pendant or drop earring applications where the lengthwise orientation showcases the pear silhouette and allows light to traverse the dome, but it can also be set in rings provided the setting design mitigates impact risk. Care guidance includes avoiding harsh chemicals and prolonged exposure to heat, and using only gentle cleaning methods compatible with standard emerald enhancements. The Natural Emerald Company provides detailed provenance and treatment disclosure for this gem, and we can supply additional gemological reports on request to support certification and insurance. This cabochon emerald offers a technically refined combination of vivid color intensity, deliberate cabochon proportions, and high polish, making it an excellent candidate for collectors and designers who appreciate the nuanced interplay of cut, color, and natural inclusions.
